An aircraft fuel system plays a crucial role in the loading, storage, management, and delivery of fuel to the propulsion system, which includes the engine(s), of an aircraft. Aircraft fuel systems encompass a wide range of components, including fuel tanks, pumps, valves, filters, piping, gauges, and inserting systems. These components work together to store fuel, transfer it from the tanks to the engines, monitor fuel quantity and quality, and protect against potential hazards such as fuel leakage and vapor explosions.
The aircraft industry is constantly seeking innovative and sustainable solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the environmental impact of aviation. Hydrogen fuel systems offer environmental benefits by reducing carbon emissions and minimizing pollutants. They also offer enhanced fuel efficiency due to the higher energy density of hydrogen. Advancements in hydrogen storage, distribution, and safety technologies are making hydrogen fuel systems more viable and reliable.
